If you’re an LDS mom with adult children who aren’t living the way you raised them, you already know what scarcity feels like. Let me show you how abundance is not created, it’s remembered.
It’s the tight feeling in your chest when you pray and don’t hear what you hoped to hear. The late-night spiral where you replay every decision you made as a mom. It’s the quiet fear that maybe you already used up your miracles.
I’m not talking about money and stuff, I’m talking about an abundant heart.
“For the Earth is Full, and There is Enough and to Spare”
(D&C 104:17)
That verse doesn’t say if everyone behaves correctly. It doesn’t say after your child comes back to church or once you figure out what you did wrong.
What it says is the earth is full and to spare.
Abundance already exists. Remember, It’s not created.
We Don’t Create Abundance. We Create Limitations.
We like to believe that if we just try harder, pray better, or figure out the right formula, we’ll unlock abundance.
But abundance isn’t something we manufacture. It’s something God already provided.
What we do create are limitations.
We limit what God can do by deciding how He should do it. Also, we limit blessings by attaching timelines. We limit peace by believing scarcity stories about ourselves.
As humans, we are incredibly skilled at limiting a limitless God.
Remember God Is in Charge of Abundance
Doctrine and Covenants 104 is clear. He has enough. And then some.
Your job was never to manage the supply of miracles. It was never to make outcomes happen. Your job was never to fix your adult children.
God gives blessings. And then He multiplies the blessings He gives.
Multiplication requires trust. Abundance is not created it’s remembered
We live in scarcity when we try and control our Heavenly Father with how we think it should be.
Abundance is Not about Getting More
Myron Golden teaches that abundance is not about getting more. It’s about removing the constraints that stop what already exists from flowing.
Are you a mom who has been hanging on by your fingernails?
If abundance is always present, then the question isn’t: “Why isn’t God blessing me?”
The question becomes: “What am I believing that’s blocking me from receiving?”
The Scarcity Stories LDS Moms Carry
Here are a few stories I hear all the time in my coaching:
I must have failed as a mother because my child left the church.
If I had done things differently, this wouldn’t be happening.
God trusted me with these kids, and I blew it.
There’s only so much grace, and I’ve used mine up.
- My eternal family is broken.
Those are not truths. Those are limitations.
Limiting peace, hope, and connection. God can turn heartache into healing and hope.
Abundance Doesn’t Mean Life Looks the Way You Planned
Abundance does not mean your child suddenly comes back to church. It does not mean every relationship is repaired on your timeline or pain disappears.
Abundance means:
You can love your child without losing yourself.
It’s possible to feel close to God even when your prayers aren’t answered the way you hoped.
You can stop parenting from fear and start showing up from steadiness.
Where Moms Get Stuck:
LDS moms I work with aren’t stuck because they don’t love God enough. They’re stuck because they believe they have to earn abundance.
They believe peace is conditional. Joy is based on children’s choices. Grace is rationed.
So they overthink every text. They walk on eggshells and carry shame they were never meant to carry.
This Is Where Coaching Comes In
I don’t help moms control circumstances. Helping them remove limitations.
We look at the beliefs that are keeping you stuck and untangle, unrealistic expectations. Then rebuild trust with God that isn’t based on performance.
And slowly, something shifts.
You stop chasing peace and start receiving it.
Stop begging God to fix everything and start noticing how much He’s already sustaining you.
Abundance Shows Up Quietly
It looks like:
Responding instead of reacting.
Sleeping peacefully through the night.
Feeling calm even when nothing has changed externally.
Loving your child without trying to rescue them.
That’s abundance in motion.
A Gentle Truth, Abundance is Not Created it's Remembered
If the earth is full and there is enough and to spare. And God multiplies what He gives.
Then maybe your work isn’t asking for more.
Maybe your work is loosening the grip on the limits we’ve been holding.
